DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Magnetic Precision: Flow Measurement Without Moving Parts

  Electromagnetic flow meters offer accurate, low-maintenance flow measurement for conductive liquids—delivering long service life, low power usage, and seamless system integration without moving parts or flow obstructions.

• What You Need To Know About Mixed Oxidant Solution

  The main component of mixed oxidant solution (MOS) is chlorine and its derivatives hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid (ClO−, HClO). It also contains trace amounts of other chlor-oxygen species which work synergistically with the hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid to improve efficacy and performance. MOS is made from brine (salt) and energy, and is used for disinfecting, sanitizing and reducing the risk of infection due to pathogenic microorganisms in water and in other applications. It is particularly useful for customers who have specific challenges such as controlling biofilm or reducing disinfection byproducts exacerbated by biofilms.

• Maximizing Your ROI On Test Equipment

  In today’s economic climate, it’s tempting to want to buy the cheapest test equipment you can now. But, how can you tell what the true cost of test equipment is? You have to consider how widely your water and chemical consumption will vary as the readings on your instrumentation does. By Heather Rekalske, Myron L Company

• Iron, Manganese, And Arsenic Pilot Study In The Golden State (Loprest)

  This report summarizes results and conclusions of a groundwater treatment pilot test program. This pilot test program was undertaken to demonstrate the effectiveness of water treatment products that employ oxidation and filtration to remove iron, manganese and arsenic to levels well below MCL’s. Operating data collected during the study will be used to confirm the design of fullscale facilities.

• How To Cost-Effectively Increase Pumping Station Capacity

  Early detection of leaks can preserve pumping station capacity. Full-profile insertion (FPI) mag meters can be installed near valves and bends, making them ideal for pumping stations.

• Unseen Connections: How Non-Revenue-Water Is Linked To The Hidden Hazard Of Sinkholes

  This article explores how NRW can contribute to the formation of sinkholes, and why addressing non-revenue water is vital for preventing these potentially dangerous occurrences.

• Combating Cyber Threats: How To Secure Water Utility Systems

  As technology gets more sophisticated, so have hackers and cyberattacks. How can utilities protect themselves and their customers?

• EPA Researchers Analyze 30 Years Of Data To Understand How Warming Temperatures Will Affect Harmful Algal Blooms In Reservoirs

  Harmful algal blooms in lakes can produce odorous, scum-covered, or discolored water, and negatively impact human health and the environment. These blooms are frequently formed by cyanobacteria, which are often found floating in lakes as a type of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that use sunlight to make their own food and are important food sources for other organisms. Many species of cyanobacteria thrive in warm, nutrient-rich environments and some can produce toxins that cause health problems for humans, pets, and wildlife. Climate change and ongoing nutrient pollution may cause more frequent and intense cyanobacterial blooms in the future.

• Turbidity, What It Is And How It's Successfully Mitigated

  This article will clarify the essential aspects of turbidity, how it can affect human health, and how best to measure and mitigate it.

• AMERICAN SpiralWeld Pipe Delivers For City Of Phoenix Drought Pipeline Project

  Phoenix’s Drought Pipeline Project, supported by AMERICAN SpiralWeld Pipe, secures clean water for North Phoenix, delivering up to 75 million gallons daily and earning top industry awards.
